MOBILE, Ala. – University of South Alabama women's soccer will look to rebound from back-to-back shutout losses, as it welcomes Louisiana-Lafayette and Louisiana-Monroe this weekend to round out Sun Belt Conference play.
Â
USA (10-5-2, 3-2-1 SBC) will host the Ragin' Cajuns (8-5-2, 5-1-0 SBC) on Thursday, with kickoff set for 7 p.m., before concluding the regular season with the Warhawks (6-10-1, 1-5-0 SBC) in a Sunday afternoon bout.
Â
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, the Jaguars will be wearing pink on Thursday and will be holding a silent auction on-site for four NCAA pink soccer balls used in the weekend's matches. Money raised from the auction will be presented to Troy in support of its "
Project 19 Campaign."
Â
South Alabama Senior Day will be Sunday, and 14 Jaguars will be recognized during pregame. All home matches are free to all attendees. The Cage is located on Old Shell Road, just east of Stanky Field.
Â
Already clear for a trip to San Marcos, Texas, for the 2013 Sun Belt Conference Tournament on Nov. 6-10, the Jaguars will look to secure a positive sendoff this weekend as well protect a 4-1-1 home record.
Â
Louisiana-Lafayette brings forth a high-powered offense led by freshmen Yazmin Montoya and Annika Schmidt. The pair has combined for 20 of ULL's 32 goals this year and has been thunderous through the club's four-match league win streak, which most recently saw Montoya turn in a four-goal performance.
Â
Louisiana-Monroe must win both its matches this weekend, starting with Troy on Thursday, to clinch a berth to the league finale. The Warhawks' only conference victory came in thrilling fashion last Sunday in Monroe, La., when ULM scored in overtime for a 2-1 win on Senior Day.
